I think both Debbie and I are honored that you brought out the hard pants.

So my mom is, I love her.

We talk every day.

She's very special.

She's Haitian, and she's 74, and she just does not give a fuck about anything.

She will say whatever she wants to say.

And this is not like an elderly thing.

This is just who she is.

She's always been this person.

And I was like, yeah, I was telling her about some good news about one of a movie I wrote that's actually going to get made.

And she was like, oh, good.

Then maybe now people will learn your name again because it has been five years since I published a book.

I was just like, thank you for having the appropriate reaction.

I was just like, I was so stunned.

And the thing is, she comes up with us to my events all the time.

And so it's so funny.

And then my dad will be like, you know, Roxanne, I saw a bad feminist in the store.

And I would like to see something else next to it.

And I'm like, well, we have the same last name, so perhaps you should write something.

That's a handy skill.
